Talks

Sprite Kit: A game changer or wasted opportunity? — Kotaro Fujita

Last year, Apple’s finally supplies the Cocoa community with a gaming framework. We dive into the heart of this exclusive iOS7/8 framework. What it is. How it came to be. How to develop on it. How does it compare
to other frameworks. And finally, should you develop on it or is it still not ready for prime time?

Modern UITableView, by Mike Zornek

There are only a handful of other UIKit objects that are as pervasive amongst iOS applications as our good friend UITableView. Thus, having a strong understanding of UITableView is a huge step into becoming a great iOS programmer. In this talk we will review the basics of UITableView as well as explain how it’s API has changed over the years and what’s upcoming with iOS 8.

About CocoaHeads

PhillyCocoa is the Philadelphia area Mac and iPhone programming group, a chapter of the worldwide CocoaHeads. All skill levels are welcome. The only requirement is an interest in Apple-related technologies and moderate tolerance for geeking out.

The main CocoaHeads presentation-style meeting is the second Thursday of every month. We also hold a Side Project Saturday event the last Saturday of the month. For more on our events see our Meetup page:
